How do I write a PS for accommodations?
Hi everyone! I'm planning on taking the MCAT in March or April 2027, and after doing some research I saw that if you want accommodations I should start the process now. I have a diagnosis from a psychologist, written documentation, and history of accommodations throughout undergrad starting sophomore year. The only thing left really is drafting a personal statement. I need help with making a good one because accommodations are very important to me. I struggle with test taking, and accommodations literally could get me a 515+ versus a 505. My GPA shot up significantly after getting them in undergrad and it helped my confidence a lot. Without them I probably would have had to take a post-bacc after graduation, but thankfully I worked hard and now I graduated with a solid GPA.
I am not super worried given I am very prepared but still, it's not 100% and I may have to appeal. Does anyone here have any experience with writing an accommodations personal statement? What to include? How to make it convincing?
